Lyics

KING JESUS, reign for evermore,

Unrivall'd in thy courts above;

While we, with all thy saints, adore

The wonders of redeeming love.



No other Lord but thee we'll know,

No other power but thine confess;

We'll spread thine honors while below,

And heav'n shall hear us shout thy grace.



We'll sing along the heav'nly road

That leads us to thy blest abode;

Till with the vast unnumber'd throng

We join in heav'n's triumphant song--



Till with pure hands and voices sweet,

We cast our crowns at Jesus' feet,

And sing of everlasting love

In never-ending strains above.
